1996 Mazda 626 LX review from North America
"Good little worker!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The Check engine light has come on a couple times for no reason. Our mechanic recommended disconnecting the battery briefly to reset it, and it hasn't come back for almost a year.
General comments?
This car has been a dream to drive. We've spent virtually no money on upkeep.
This car has decent road power and responsiveness, but you can forget about going over 40 on a long hill.
Not a sign of rust or wear on the body, either.
This car has taken us all over the country, and I'm totally happy with it.
